CHAPTER 6
Using the Personal Diabetes Manager
■ The Status Screens
When a Pod is active and the PDM is turned on, the PDM estab-
lishes communication with the Pod to obtain a status check.
During the status check, the PDM collects information from the
Pod about bolus deliveries, active basal programs, and Pod expi-
ration. The information obtained is then displayed in the status
screen, which shows the System’s current operating status.
The Status screen (Figure 6-1) displays:
• Time, date, and result of last blood glucose checked or
entered manually
• Time, date, and total amount of last bolus delivered
• Amount of insulin on board, if suggested bolus calculator is in
use
• Name and rate of active basal program or temp basal
program
• “Ext bolus,” the amount of insulin, and the delivery time
remaining if an extended bolus is being delivered
• “INSULIN SUSPENDED” if insulin delivery has been
suspended
• Time and date when the Pod will expire
